It turns out that blood flow is vital for maintaining healthy and revitalizing tissues, including those in the groin. In fact, blood flow is key to becoming aroused and having an orgasm. Grossmann recommends having "therapeutic orgasms" to exercise the muscles. So, a very effective way to activate libido and help desire "scream blood" is erotic reading. We could also call it therapeutic reading. She recommends the Raig Verd collection. <em>Sex Outside the Norm</em>, books in Catalan that include <a href="https://llegim.ara.cat/reportatges/literatura-erotica-homenatge-vulva-clitoris-masturbacio-femenina_130_4755004.html" target="_blank">erotic stories resulting from literary competitions</a> and that take into account divergent sexualities, unlike erotic classics. "Books that move blood awaken dormant areas through the imagination, which is better than cinema. They are books that can be read with one hand," she says.</p>]]></description>

The writer entered <em>The Vanguard</em> in the late 1960s and has been associated with the house for more than five decades, as a translator, journalist, correspondent, commentator, director and in other management positions. When he turned 70, he began a second life, because he began to write books "memorialistic, not memoirs" - he claimed - with <em>The marinade always arrives</em> (2013): "I have lived through interesting times and have met people who have been protagonists of political situations, but also literary ones," <a href="https://www.ara.cat/cultura/lluis-foix-qualsevol-periodista-que_129_3045394.html" target="_blank">justified in the ARA</a>In 2016 he won the Josep Pla award for <em>That revolving door</em>, a journalistic memoir.</p>]]></description>
